Fresh Snow

Shot these from the balcony this morning. Sadly didn't have enough time to get anything at ground level, had to go to work. But it was nice to have the snow, we don't get that much here in Toronto normally.

It was a charming morning in Toronto today. To bad it didn't last too long, possibly the last chance this winter to catch such a sight. Very nice. Which park is it ?

These are beautiful pictures...I wish we had that here in Oklahoma.

 

[MiFleur]

Glad you took the time to take a couple shots before work. These are exquisite! When I saw the second one, my first reaction was, "Oh, the tree roots are so cold, they're dancing." But I like oldhippy's "like children dancing" better.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

Timor, that's the Humber River near the corner of Kipling Avenue and Steeles Ave. W.

Lovely! #2 is wonderful!

Nice! Exposures are perfect, so the snow looks like real snow.

I didn't realize Toronto doesn't get much - people in Rochester say it snows constantly there - you must be usually upwind from the lake.

OK. I know, where is it, looks more interesting than the part of Humber River I live by near Weston and Sheppard.

It was a real lol snow, just very, very wet, didn't last on the trees too long, by 11AM the branches didn't have any snow anymore. Rochester and Buffalo are in so called snow belt, a specific conditions created by lakes configuration (lake effect snow). It is not uncommon to get up to 6 feet of that in 24 hours there, while in Toronto nothing.

Thanks for your compliments Charlie and Ken!

Yep, Ken, it's true- we don't get much snow here, the northeast USA gets way more than we do normally. If we want to see real snow we typically have to drive about 2 hours out from the city to find it.

Timor, yeah this part of the Humber is really nice, we have deer, hawks, herons, coyotes, etc., etc. It's hard to believe we're living within the city limits when we look out from the balcony
